Thank you Rod Serling

"You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!"

Ahh that is right folks! Last night at 12midnight (just like a do every 4th of July weekend) I started to watch the Twilight Zone marathon on Sci Fi. Seriously, this time every year it feels like Christmas. I have the chance to relive my favorite episodes and a chance to watch the ones I had missed. In all honesty the Twilight Zone captured the true essence of thrill. They didn't need blood and gore they used your mind. After all it is a dimension of the mind.

So every year without fail I sit and I watch all I can while trying to not 'waste time' Luckily here in NY we have been having non-stop rain for months so I don't think outdoor activities will be at an all time high. Not only do I love the rain but it embodies the perfect atmosphere for watching the ever chilling series that good ol' Rod Serling started so many moons ago. So while I drink my Mimosa I would like to tip my hat to Rod Serling and thank him for allowing me to capture bits of my childhood and freeze them forever…. In the Twilight Zone.

On a separate note, HAPPY 4th of July. I will probably be scarce over the weekend as I try not to be on the computer too much since I am on it all week. But I hope everyone drive safe and smart, enjoys family and friends, and has fun celebrating our independence!

Oh and one last thing before I go. I made an out home lighting studio last night and photographed cupcakes. Here is a sneak peek! I will post them next week!

BIG SMOOCHES,

Rain Days=Trash the Dress

I am sure that many of you have heard about trashing the dress. Of course it normally pertains to wedding dresses but I decided to mix it up. At first I didn't like the idea of some one ruining a dress just to ruin something but after I looked at some pictures I realized they might ruin the dress but they are making beautiful memories and photographs. Honestly I learned to love the juxtaposition between a beautiful/proper dress and opposite actions.

Again here is Emily. She is my favorite muse, although, I am looking for new models to give Emily a break. If any one is familiar with NY we have been getting non-stop rain. Yesterday (the day of the shoot) we had storm watches/warning/advisories, we also had flooding and the list goes on. She stood out in the rain and I think we got some amazing shots. Take a peek.

Some of them might appear a tad blurry. They aren't in 'real life' these are 3rd generation saves!

We are suppose to get the same weather tonight and tonight is ghost hunters… so I am very okay with this!

Comments are always welcomed!

Happy mid-week. I don't know about all of you have I am excited for my Friday off!

Run, Don't Walk, From The……..SLOB

You thought the blob was scary?!?!! Well, you haven't met the slob­­­­­­- me. I am sure most of you have noticed that there hasn't been much art coming from me lately. Yes, I have been busy with vacation, weddings, and photography but I am afraid I have committed a serious offense. I would go as far as saying I committed a crime against humanity. This is my art table.(insert terrible horror scream).

I haven't produced art because I can't seem to get to my art table. Sadly, it has been this way since I feel ill 3 months back. I just haven't cleaned it. Sure there has been time, but… cleaning is no fun! But I miss my painting and in order to paint I need my table back.

In all fairness, I use everything that is on that table and I just don't have the proper storage. In fact, that desk is SQUISHED in the corner of my living room. It is the pits. Not the kind of location that breeds creative thoughts. We have been looking for a new place but can't seem to find anything in our price range (especially during track season). We live right next to Saratoga Race Tack (horse racing).

To make matters worse all of my sewing supplies are 30 mins away so every time I want to sew I have to drive. There is just no room. Trust me it gets worse, our eat in kitchen houses Adam's desk and computer so there is no eating table! We can't even have people over for dinner.

Well well well, people tell me that even if I had a mansion there wouldn't be enough room for all of my 'stuff'. But, I know that everyone here knows that art supplies takes up a lot of space. So next time you see me… Don't walk, run as fast as you can in the opposite direction, for if I touch you, you might become a slob.

Happy Tuesday

Smooches
